"The Saint in Palm Springs" is the name of a crime thriller motion picture released by RKO Pictures in early 1941. The film continued the screen adventures of the Robin Hood-inspired anti-hero, Simon Templar, alias The Saint, created by Leslie Charteris. The film itself was based upon a story by Charteris, however many changes to his concept were made. Charteris later novelised his version of the film story as the novella "Palm Springs", contained within the collection "The Saint Goes West".

The central cast of this film was identical to the previous entry, "The Saint Takes Over". George Sanders returned once again as Templar (his final performance in the role), with Jonathan Hale making his final appearance as Inspector Farnack (the character would next be seen in "The Saint in Manhattan", a 1980s television pilot). Wendy Barrie makes her third and final appearance in the film series, once again playing a different character.

The storyline involves The Saint pursuing rare stamps at a Palm Springs, California hotel.

Trivia

* The 1960 French film, "Le Saint Mene la danse" which was produced by Films Du Cyclope and Lux Films and starred Felix Marten as Templar, is based upon the same story as this film.
